I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, my family and I moved to US in 2002. I graduated from IAU of PR with a degree in Biology Education, and a master's in education from Norhan College. I am South Carolina certified to teach Biology from 7-12, completed a Gifted and Talented endorsement from USC Aiken and got UGA certified as a Professional Interpreter in Education (2023) and Professional Interpreter in Special Education (2024).  This year will be my 18th year teaching at Fox Creek. I have three grown children. A few months ago. I became a grandmother for the 5th time - finally a girl!
